Recovered my PC but...

[jcnovak]

I recently moved and in the process I lost a box containing some of my books and files, among them was the support materials for my computer, except the recovery disk.

I used the recovery disk (without thinking) which reformated the HD and reinstalled the original files. Than upon rebooting it asked for my name and "product key". The product key was in the lost box. Now I am stomped. Do I have to purchase a new Win98 to get the product key?

Are there any suggestions on the options I have?

tcwg,
I suggested the same thing and got yelled at by the software piracy police

Anyone got a product key for Win98 this boy can have?

jcnovak, have you tried contacting MS? If you are registered with them, they should be able to help you.
